Did you know...

...that the Curse Alliance (CA) is the only alliance mentioned in the EVE Chronicles?

I do also remember a few other nice bits of more conventional "lore", but I'll want to check the sources first. (For example, did you know that Ishukone manufactures the most pods? And Hyasyoda's killer product is the capsuleer docking bay? Both need a source, though...)

This isn't... entirely true. Although I suppose they weren't mentioned in a Chronicle, but ORE was originally a capsuleer corporation, and now has two of the more popular mining barges that you can build made from them. In fact I know one of the co-founders personally, as he is part of the gaming group I used to play Counter-Strike with. . .

I've not edited the snippet for now, as it says 'alliance' and ORE is a corporation?


Do a search for the character XaRiUs. He's the guy I know, and he created the O.R.E. Syndicate as a corporation. It was actually begun in Beta, and is no longer active but still exists (I think he was the last member).

The ticker of the capsuleer corporation was ORES, not ORE, everything else though was the same. They were pretty big in Beta and were the primary miner corporation and had a lot of input into mining and whatnot with the Devs and so the ORE barges were created in their honor.

Stitch, if you have links for any of those, feel free to add them in too.

 As part of its political goal to make the State stronger economically, Lai Dai is the primary supporter of the School of Applied Knowledge. Check out more (and the expanded corp wiki template) here!

Thanks to Dex Nederland for that one.

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

It turns out that the Starkmanir-Vherokior link has been retconned away. CCP Ginger alerted me to that, and sure enough, if you look at the Vherokior bloodline description, that's removed.

Not that I'm a huge fan of retconning, but there you go.

Did you know......

The only non-supercap that can survive a doomsday is a HG slave set Archon?

The Leviathan has the highest damage output of any ship in EVE? (14,000 DPS using Guristas Citadel torpedoes and 3 Estamel's Ballistic Control units)

Supercarriers used to be called Motherships and had clone vat bays and no fighter-bombers?

m0o corp is the only player corporation in a mission description?

There have been 4 unique ships given out from alliance tournaments? (the State Issue Raven, Tribal Issue Tempest, Freki and Mimrir)
